Wow, what an amazing shot! Love how the bands of color on his pants lead our eye up and down, and then there's the extra surprise of two skyscrapers between his legs! Fabulous!

No wonder you get 1/4 of a million views...and it very well explains why I only have 35,000....LOL.
This is absolutely amazing....I think it should be featured in a tourist magazine of St. Louis :))

Mc Shutter (57 months ago | reply)
I'm not a bit surprised, considering the images.
You'd have twice as many views if you posted with more regularity.
